Start of the trip: Boston
On the night of July 4th, we took a red eye over to Boston. There were many babies and toddlers on board such that their screaming and crying during the safety review caused the flight attendants to laugh while showing us how to don an oxygen mask.
Anyway, we arrived bright and early and hungry. A friend picked us up for breakfast at the Harvard Inn - very pretty dining area. He showed us his new iPhone which he got for research purposes. No really, that's his industry so it's a biz expense! :p
We had come to Boston to help out at a wedding. So after breakfast, he dropped us off at the groom's house where we took a nap until mid-afternoon. I woke up to my DH having a very positive phone call which couldn't wait until after our vacation. So finally, we were off to visit our favorite haunts in Boston!
First stop, Burdick...unfortunately it was closed for renovations! Passing by, you can see the basement from a whole in the floor. booo. We settled for a late lunch at Cafe of India right next door. Then it was off to Downtown Crossing to buy some a present for our brother-in-law. He's into rowing so we decided on Nautica's new Deck Shirt (no idea what that really means - it looks like a regular polo).
Walked down Newbury to Kenmore Square where we dropped in Ankara Cafe (formerly Angora's) for frozen yogurt that's like ice cream. It was much-frequented back in our college days. We did SO much takeout from here!
Anyway, later, we passed out while waiting for the bride and groom to return home. They were up until 2am getting the bride's henna done.
